Questions? We've got answers!

We are located in the Tackett’s Mill Shopping Center facing the lake side of the development. If you see a PetValu, you’re on the wrong side – just swing around the back side and drive to the back lot. Here’s a map!

We’re closed Mondays. On Tuesdays through Saturdays, we’re open from 10:00AM – 7:00PM, and on Sundays, we’re open at 10:00AM – 4:00PM. Occasionally we’ll host our beekeeping classes after hours on Saturdays. Here’s our event calendar!

We do offer intro to advanced level beekeeping classes! We’re constantly adding classes to our events calendar. You can find them on our Events tab or by clicking here.

We do ship our beekeeping supplies! But you can also pick them up locally during regular business hours. We’re conveniently located at 2230 Tacketts Mill Dr D, Lake Ridge, VA 22192 and are open every day but Mondays!

We do sell our very own Sweet Sophia brand of handmade products such as local honey, creams, balms and much more! You can find all those products at www.MySweetSophia.com.
